OFFER: Add the Lagan Hat, Mitts & Cowl to your basket and receive the cowl for FREE

The River Lagan is the main river that flows through Belfast, out into Belfast Lough and then the Irish Sea. As a child I walked the towpath with my dad and sister, and in recent times it has become a favourite walk for my husband and me. From Autumn through to Spring, a cowl is often a necessary accessory!

The Lagan Cowl is a neck warmer knit in double knit weight yarn, with the cables giving it just a little bit extra interest, and representing the winding nature of the river.

The pattern has three sizes, ranging from toddler to adult. It is knit using a short circular but can be adapted to knit using the magic loop method or with dpns.
